Do Not Abandon Yourself - During A Breakup
filed in Mind, Body Connection on Jun 30, 2009
A loss of a relationship can cause a lost of identity. As painful as this maybe it is an opportunity to develop a deeper relationship with yourself. If you pause and listen and desire to know the truth deep inside you may find the negative self-talk that has been there for a long time.
So now is the time to connect with yourself. Everyone is hiding something inside of themselves that is making them uncomfortable.
In order to develop a healthy self esteem and regain your identity it is important to first identify your negative self-talk.
Since the breakup are you silently or out loud telling yourself you are a “failure”, “not thin enough, smart enough, intelligent enough, etc. etc.?
Usually this type of self-talk begin in childhood. Negative things are said, and the child internalizes these messages and develops into adulthood negative self talk that gets hidden. One does not even know how much negative self-talk they are doing in any given day.
Start now and begin to listen to your self-talk. Find five things that you tell yourself that cause your self-esteem and identity to take a nose dive.
Then begin to give yourself five positive messages that will make you feel good about yourself. This may sound simple, but it is one of the most important things you can do while you are going through this difficult time.
